Can my landscaper build the fire pit enclosure while a licensed gas company installs the burner and gas line?
Yes. Around Mars Hill, especially out Spring Creek and Gabriels Creek where propane and wood rule, your landscaper builds the enclosure and we handle the fuel — sizing the LP burner, coordinating the tank, venting and valving the pit, running the line, and permitting with Madison County. In one of our colder spots, an outdoor flame gets real use.
Rural propane, done right
Beyond the university, much of Mars Hill is rural — Spring Creek, Gabriels Creek, and the Forks of Ivy lean on propane and wood rather than a gas main. Propane needs its own orifice and pressure, and because it's heavier than air it sinks if it doesn't light, so the enclosure's air vents are a genuine safety measure rather than a detail to skip. We size the LP burner, coordinate the tank with your supplier, and build in low venting before the pit is capped.
Cold enough to earn its keep
Mars Hill runs colder than the Asheville basin, and a gas fire pit stretches the patio season on both ends without hauling wood or babysitting coals. Your hardscaper delivers the stonework; we deliver a flame that lights at a key on a cold Madison County evening. We confirm the fuel and size everything to the enclosure opening so the two halves meet cleanly — no gaps, no rework when the burner drops in.
The licensed handoff
Running gas is licensed work in North Carolina — a landscaper legally can't connect the fuel, and we can. We pull the Madison County permit and meet the inspector, keeping the fire side with one accountable company. Call (828) 545-0525 and we'll coordinate with your crew.
